A bank's business team has developed a new strategy, which includes the introduction of prepaid cards as a new high-risk product offering.

Inherent risk is the natural risk before controls are applied. The compliance team's measures (monetary limits and restricting to existing customers) reduce the exposure to misuse, thereby lowering the residual risk - the risk that remains after controls are implemented.
